DaLunchbox V2 Community Fix

In 2017 a Kickstarter was created for “DaLunchBox V2” this product aimed to act as a video ground station, battery charger and case for Tiny Whoop style drones. With the actual shipping of the product in 2018 there were many issues with it. Mainly that the diversity RX did not function and was always locked to channel “A”. As there was little to no communication from the creator and many in the community who had this non functional product. I began work with Charlie Stevenson of AlienWhoop to try and salvage our own LunchBoxes.

After nights of work we found a way to flash new software and found it to almost perfectly replicate the classic RX5808 Pro Diversity open source project. With a few modifications we were able to get it fully running with only software modifications. We released this guide to the community so that they could also fix their products.

In later versions we added features like custom screen savers and even a spectator mode called “Bird Watch” that allowed the use to relax and have the screen auto change channels when the signals got weak. This allows for easier viewing of pilots at event or even allowing spectators to always have action on screen without intervention!

The community made firmware was a success and was even taken by the original creator to be used on the product without crediting us. (Look for the BluJ head in the system menu for Bird Watch mode)
